View a single list item in a web part on a web part page

If you use the page viewer to view the list item directing for exampleto list_name/DispForm.aspx?ID=8 the pager viewer web part displays theentire SharePoint page view inside the web part.

Anyone come across a simple or cheap way to display just the list iteminformation on the form on a web part page? I don't need to be able toedit or add to the form. Just display form information in reply toanother web part's connection. Shoot at this point I would be happy withno connections and just manually set the form ID for each web part page.

Also looking for more details. I have used the data form web part tocreate more lists and dynamic lists of data, but can't get it to displayall of the fields for a single list item..

More information,Let's say you have a list of contacts and a web part page dedicated tosingle person. I want to display all of the information about thecontact in a web part (so for example every field from the contact listfiltered to that specific contact).

If I set the page viewer web part to display dispform=1 (for thatcontact) I get the whole master page again as well. When really I justwant the filled out form. (Don't need to edit etc..)

When you use the dataform web part you can control which fields are representedin the view. I'm not aware of any that you can't add to the display. Theywon't be there automatically, you will need to edit the columns list to add theadditional columns.

Take a look at the following set of articles on the Office site. They are abouthow to add a DataForm (DataView) web part to a page. When you add the DataFormyou can display a single item by selecting the Single Item view instead of theMultiple item view. The article uses an XML file as the datasource, but youcan also use an existing list or library as the datasource.
